Billy Donovan updates Patric Young's injury status

Florida coach Billy Donovan said Wednesday that Florida center Patric Young's ankle injury remains a concern, although an MRI has revealed Young does not have any structural or ligament damage to the ankle.

Donovan said Young is in considerable pain, has inflammation and is not expected to practice today. However, Young is expected to play Saturday when the Gators host LSU.

"There's nothing there for him that's going to keep him out of games or prevent him from playing,'' Donovan said.
